Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the Holocaust "the most heinous crime in history" in a*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * statement released after a meeting of the Palestinian National Council (PNC).
He apologized for remarks he made at the four-day meeting earlier in the week, during which he suggested *Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 *that "animosity toward Jews was not because of their religion, but because of their social behavior." He added that such behavior included money-lending and banking.
The 83-year-old, who was re-elected as the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on Friday, had also*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * called the creation of Israel a European "colonial project aimed at planting foreign bodies in the region."
'Respect for the Jewish faith'
In Friday's statement, he said "if people were offended by my*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * statement in front of the PNC, especially people of the Jewish faith, I apologize to them."

    PROMISED LAND, ENEMY LAND: ISRAEL 70 YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE

    Long-held hope is victorious

    On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, future first prime minister of Israel, declares the state's independence, outlining the Jewish story: "The people kept faith with (the land) throughout their dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom." It was the birth of an internationally recognized Jewish homeland.

"I would like to assure everyone that it was not my intention to do so, and to*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * reiterate my full respect for the Jewish faith, as well as other monotheistic faiths."
He added that he opposed*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * anti-Semitism "in all its forms."
International outrage
Abbas' comments had sparked international outrage. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tweeted that Germany was*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * solely responsible for the Holocaust and that any attempt to "qualify the Holocaust" was unacceptable.
Abbas has previously faced criticism for similar comments. In a dissertation he wrote in the 1980s, Abbas relativized*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * the Holocaust and argued that Zionist movements collaborated with Adolf Hitler's regime.
In 2014, he defended himself against being called anti-Semitic*Please,I urgently need donations:Anyasoro Chekwube WM.,Acct.no.:4240853014,Bank-FCMB in Nigeria,Phone no.:+2349092171875 * by saying that the Holocaust was "the worst crime in modern history."

    THE MEN WHO LED NAZI GERMANY

    Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945)

    As Hitler's Propaganda Minister, the virulently anti-Semitic Goebbels was responsible for making sure a single, iron-clad Nazi message reached every citizen of the Third Reich. He strangled freedom of the press, controlled all media, arts, and information, and pushed Hitler to declare "Total War." He and his wife committed suicide in 1945, after poisoning their six children.
